new AMD 15.8 Beta Driver out (doesn't mention MGSV or Mad Max though)

[Jawmuncher]

Pull an all nighter brah, I've hit 50 hours without collapsing before

Fuck That.
I get cranky as hell just having to stay up 24 hours for work. Any more than that and I might end in jail for who knows what.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Well they say that i am cheerful guy

lol sold! XD

 

[Nzyme32]

Pull an all nighter brah, I've hit 50 hours without collapsing before

I did something similar for my thesis after about maybe 55hrs awake and it went horribly. I was meant to go to work for a 4 hour shift after which I could have gone home and properly slept. Instead, somehow I blacked out and autopiloted to bed for about an hour. My house mate woke me up after work tried to work out where I was. Had to go to work which felt awful, and then had the longest sleep ever.

I will never stay awake that long without sleep again. Not worth it at all.

 

[Ludens]

The things you're complaining about were its selling points

Eh, I know, but I think I'm not the target of this game, than.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

It's that time of the month again.

 

[Hektor]

It's that time of the month again.

Im shocked that such high quality VN's still need to go trough the greenlight process.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's that time of the month again.

Yep, that's a sakura game. Why do they still need to use greenlight anyway. They ALWAYS make it in.

 

[morningbus]

Call of Duty: Black Ops III adds Nuketown map pre-order bonus

less of a reason to preorder, really, that map was garbageeeeeeeeeee

Legit first person added to ignore list.

I don't even add racists to my ignore list.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

It's that time of the month again.

*sigh*
NSFW

Spoiler

uh huh.... =/

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It's that time of the month again.

*fourth screenshot on that page*

Yep, that's Sakura alright.

 

[Lain]

It's that time of the month again.

Another Sakura game to add to the list? Sure why not, let's get it on Steam and then wait for a nice 75% off.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

ah jeez throw a NSFW on that spoiler at least.

 

[Sch1sm]

What is it you like in these games? I'll never understand.

 

[Ludens]

Do you know what's really stupid about those FOB microtransactions? The fact those are not DLC. Let's say you spend 70€ on coins to buy all FOBs. You start a new game (and I read, spoiler regarding MGSV

Spoiler

that you can lose one of your buddy and there's no way to recover it if not by restarting the game, and the way you prevent this...it's just stupid, a stupid like "How do I suppose to know that?"

, your FOBs are gone.

 

[Maniac]

PSA:


$5.09

Aw shiet, I played the crap out of these games on my PS2. Didn't know they were on PC. Damn man, gotta get dis

 

[Ruruja]

Those Sakura games have better quality artwork than most shit-tier VNs on steam to be fair.

 

[Leafhopper]

It's that time of the month again.

Time to use that Greenlight power.

To vote it down.

It's more the designs themselves I have problems with.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

so this post was right about ssc being the new winged cloud vn

There's no news on the Patreon, but I do have some info to share. Someone claiming to be the writer was posting on ♥♥♥♥♥ recently, and they seemed legit. It might be awhile until Chapter 2. Fantasy was his first writing job, and he wasn't sure which direction to take it since he wasn't sure what people would want. Spirit and Angels sold better, so the concern was that Fantasy's somewhat more serious story isn't selling and that it might be better to drop it and just do more fanservice.

The decision he seemed to come to from talking to people in the thread was to stay the course. Try for both plot and fanservice, but go in more boldly this time, since if he can pull off both it would be well worth it. The writer seemed like a pretty chill guy who really wants to write something people will love, he just needs a little more experience. He also wrote Sakura Swim Club, which I don't think they've officially announced yet but it should be coming Soon™.

This is all just hearsay of course. There's no confirmed status on anything until Winged Cloud gives an official update.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Also if Sakura Clicker wasn't apparen't enough. Looks like characters outside of the CGs are just character creation. The girl with the white hair looks like the other from a few games ago.

Those Sakura games have better quality artwork than most shit-tier VNs on steam to be fair.

Yeah even with what I said, that is by far their best feature.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Prepare yourselves, SteamGAF. Looks like the Mortal series is getting it's own MMO on Steam.

Hope the fighting is good.

 

[MakeshiftChef]

Ugh, waiting for MGS release is no fun. I wonder if the nvidia drivers are going to make all that much difference in performance.

 

[Uzzy]

It's that time of the month again.

Chariot can now give all five of his GOTY votes to Sakura games. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Sakura Fantasy is a decentish VN for Winged Cloud... well compared to spirit and angels. Dunno how it compares to beach since it doesnt run on osx. >X(

 

[Phawx]

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm still shocked at how smooth Nvidia software updates are.

AMD's are always a hell of uninstall > restart > install > restart > check CCC and it doesn't work > uninstall everything > restart > install old CCC > uninstall old CCC > restart > install new stuff > restart > enjoy new update. Some embellishment, but not as much as you'd think.

Why not use DDU

 

[jshackles]

Time to use that Greenlight power.

To vote it down.

I wish it were that easy, but from what I understand Greenlight doesn't actually take "No" votes into consideration.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Ugh, waiting for MGS release is no fun. I wonder if the nvidia drivers are going to make all that much difference in performance.

It unlocks at a bizarre hour too. Steam is saying mine will unlock in 21 hours which would take it to like 12 PM EDT.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Ugh, waiting for MGS release is no fun. I wonder if the nvidia drivers are going to make all that much difference in performance.

you could probably finish 4-5 indie games in your backlog while youre waiting though

it's just that whole playing games thing always gets in the way of collecting steam games

[Lain]

What is it you like in these games? I'll never understand.

Nothing. I haven't played one of them yet except for the clicking game for a little bit (though I experienced some of the games through Chariot's reports).
I could say that I find the generic art to be kinda nice, but my reason to actually buy them (for as cheap as possible) is that they seem so devoid of any shame for being.... well... what they are and I can sorta respect that.

 

[L.O.R.D]

MS , Sony , Nintendo
pack your bag , Apple TV4 is coming to get you out of the market for ever

 

[dex3108]

So basically this

[LurkerPrime]

Why not use DDU

1) I haven't heard of DDU
2) I use an Nvidia card now
3) It shouldn't be necessary to begin with.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Clean install is always better than an upgraded install.

 

[Knurek]

Szmalek went on to address the controversy surrounding the lack of racial diversity in the game, saying that some people assumed that it was some form of omission or a statement that the studio was trying to make.
"It is definitely not," Szmalek said. "It's just that we tackled certain issues from a different perspective."
Travis Currit, who was one of the team responsible for translating The Witcher 3 to English, suggested that for those living in more racially diverse areas, the lack of representation feels far more pronounced. He went on to say that while Poland is relatively "homogeneous" in terms of race, CD Projekt Red drew inspiration from the tensions that existed between the various cultures coexisting in the country.

Like, this can't be stated enough.
You can live your whole life here and don't see a non-white person, other than in television.

 

[Pachimari]

Seems like the Steam controller releases on October 12. Right when I'm on vacation in Spain of course. But hopefully it'll be here when I get back home!

I'm super hyped about the Elite controller and Steam controller.

 

[jshackles]

So basically this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUdpj3gJofQ

Basically, yeah.

It tracks the "No" votes, but doesn't use that data point to determine anything other than the pie chart in the bottom corner. AFAIK, the only thing they're looking for is the number of "Yes" votes.

 

[Nyteshade517]

looks like Mad Max will have Steam Trading Cards...didn't see it on the store page before

 

[Leafhopper]

I wish it were that easy, but from what I understand Greenlight doesn't actually take "No" votes into consideration.

Yeah it doesn't. It just counts how many "Yes" votes it gets. It just makes me feel better.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Basically, yeah.

It tracks the "No" votes, but doesn't use that data point to determine anything other than the pie chart in the bottom corner. AFAIK, the only thing they're looking for is the number of "Yes" votes.

Which makes sense as someone who says no isn't anyway near as likely to buy it compared to those who vote yes. If enough vote yes, regardless of the no votes then you have an idea that it might sell. Which I imagine is all Greenlight really works on.

 

[dex3108]

Basically, yeah.

Sad thing is that there is no way to stop game to come on Steam with this system. But again it could be abused just like current Yes system.

 

[lashman]

 

[Phawx]

1) I haven't heard of DDU
2) I use an Nvidia card now
3) It shouldn't be necessary to begin with.

You should still use DDU for Nvidia cards.

 

[Spirited]

KONAMI!!!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I still have no sense as to whether this FOB microtransaction thing is an outcry against ruining a good gameplay element or people are outraged over something that isn't outrageous.

I'll guess we'll all find out in the next week or so

 

[Lain]

Sad thing is that there is no way to stop game to come on Steam with this system. But again it could be abused just like current Yes system.

Well the question asked isn't "should this game be allowed to grace Steam's Sacred Ground?", but "would you buy this game if it was on Steam?". Obviously if enough people seem to show an interest in buying the game, then it makes sense to have that game on the store.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Sad thing is that there is no way to stop game to come on Steam with this system. But again it could be abused just like current Yes system.

Why would you want to stop a game coming to Steam? I mean I can think of a few edge cases but if it's not something I'm interested in doesn't mean someone else isn't. If I had my way there would be no animu games on Steam full stop but the kids in here luv 'em! If something is infringing copyright or promoting discrimination then you can always report it bear in mind.

 

[PandaPedinte]

It's that time of the month again.

At this rate, Sakura games will surpass Assassin's Creed in the number games.

Issue is that current system is abused that is why i wrote that. Devs are promising keys for people who vote for them so question "Would you buy it if it is on Steam" is pointless.
